Why I work here:
I
had feared that checking out of school would mean leaving at the door
many of the ideals that brought me to the profession of Landscape
Architecture in the first place. In GreenWorks, I found a team
dedicated to achieving creative, innovative and quality work, with a
strong commitment to environmental and sustainable ethics. While at
GreenWorks, I have valued the environment for personal growth that is
encouraged and supported. But lets gets serious, what’s not to like
about a place where you can shoot a stuffed screaming monkey across the
office at your coworkers.
